2.8.1.7 | L-cysteine + acceptor |
overall reaction, the enzyme shows a selenocysteine lyase activity approximately 280fold higher than its cysteine desulfurase activity. The desulfuration mechanism proposed for this enzyme seems to involve three different stages. At the beginning of the reaction, L-cysteine is quickly bound by the cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, shifting the UV-VIS spectrum of the enzyme. In this aldimine state, the L-cysteine sulfur atom is attacked by Cys384, resulting in persulfide formation. To regenerate the enzyme, this persulfide state must be resolved by transferring the sulphide to inorganic or organic acceptor molecules (accessory proteins, DTT or to other L-cysteine molecules) |
